> authorize the Governor in Council and the Minister of Industry to direct telecommunications service providers to do anything, or refrain from doing anything, that is necessary to secure the Canadian telecommunications system.<p>I don't know how much I can trust the source, but the idea that a law can be passed with no restriction on what ("anything") is, is worrying. It seems to imply that there is no due process, no oversight, no nothing. If the gov says "block that person's Internet" or "Send us a copy of all person's X traffic" without a warrant of any kind the telecom have to do it.
